Feel free to share it with others so that we ALL may learn, but do not claim it as your own creation, nor place it on any web site without my permission. You may NOT place this on a CD that is offered for sale. This tutorial was written by me and any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental. Thank you:)))! This tutorial was written using PSP 9, but it can easily be done in other versions. I included two blings made by RobertaDesignzNI http://robertadesignzni.com/tubeweb/wbp/blingindex.htm I think her site is closed down now but you can find some more blings here.. http://www.nmstutorials.co.uk/ .. Click on the Glitter Anims tab when you get to the site which is where you will find the blings. You may also join the list I send my Blings to here: Please Add Me To NiteOwl's Bling List Bling Supplies I used: This tutorial is mainly to teach the 'Drag and Drop' method of adding these blings to tags you have already made in PSP. Ready to start? Open a tube bling in Animation Shop. You will notice it has several frames. Click on the first bling frame (the colored one) to select it and then delete that frame. Now click on Edit-->Select all....All your bling frames are now highlighted (they all show blue around the edges). In PSP, open your tag and click on Layers-->Promote Background Layer if it is a jpeg tag. Now duplicate that layer until you have as many layers of the tag as the amount of bling frames in Animation Shop. In this case the bling had 4 frames so I duplicated my tag 3 times for a total of 4 layers. I renamed them F 1 through F 4: Save it and then open it in Animation Shop. Highlight all of the frames of the tag frames...the same way you did the tube animation above...so each frame has blue around them also. Make sure the slider on the bottom of the Bling and tag frames is all the way to the left. Then, align the tube frames behind your blank animation so you can see it. Now, while holding down, your Ctrl key...left click on the first frame of the blings and drag and drop to the first frame of your tag animation. Don't let up on your Ctrl key until you have it place where you think you want it: If your bling disappeared, just click on the top of the blue frame, then click on Edit-->Undo Drag and they will show back up. Now we need to add another corner. Click on your Bling, then click on Animation-->Flip. Now do another 'drag and drop' to the upper right corner of your tag: We have to add the left top corner so click on Animation-->Mirror and do another drag and drop: Add the bottom left corner by clicking on your bling and then Animation-->Flip. Now drag and drop again onto the left corner. You can close out your bling now. When the window comes up asking you if you want to save changes, just click No. Click on your Play Animation button to see the animation. See how easy that is? You can resize the tube bling frames in animation Shop by clicking on Animation-->Resize. I would suggest not resizing any more than 85% at the time or it will blur it too much. Here is a tag I made in PSP and then added the two different bling animations to it in Animation Shop. These two blings had 21 frames, so I had to duplicate my tag 20 times to have a total 21 frames.
